Who can even remember the original topic? That thread ran amuck afterjust 3 pages.
OCben -- you are an inspiration. After reading your first post the day you picked up your well optioned seal gray 997S at Circle, I knew I had to own one. thanks.

And now I can't get it wet, I can't use the A/C, I need to be careful about the handbrake so I don't strip the mechanism, and I can't drive at night so the headlights don't burn out prematurely. I give up.
Addict - Don't forget the part that if you actually drive it... you'll put miles on the clock and it will depreciate faster, the tires will wear out, you will need to refill it with gas, you will have to get an oil change, you will have to...

NPP: You're very welcome. And that was quite generous of you to say so. I too am indebted to the Rennlist members here who inspired me and helped me with the options I ordered, including MJones and countless others whose names I can't recall at the moment but would like to thank if you know who you are (must be the effects of the alcohol at the moment - hey, it's 7:30 here, I'm entitled to a drink or two or three). ... But we're all really a fraternity here helping each other out, that's why we come here to learn as much as we can, and then return the favor by helping others who in turn are hungry for knowledge and information. Sometimes the discussions get a bit heated, but really no ill will is intended. Some of us (including me) just need to work on our social skills a bit, so don't be offended by anything anyone says. Everyone really means well in the end. We are a brotherhood here and we should treat and respect each other as brothers.
